At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The Border Announcement: 6/10 "Because broadly it’s the right thing to do. It's marked down because, like always, it’s a mile too late and way too slow." Inflation: 5.9/10 "A shocking number. And despite what the Government will tell you, is way worse than most countries. We all have inflation, well we have it worse." Labour: 2/10 "As in workers. 200 machinery operators allowed in; how many came? Zero. 300 teachers allowed in; how many came? Eight. What's wrong here? Labour, as in the Government." OECD Report into NZ: 3/10 "From superannuation to housing, given they don't have a clue, why did we give them the time of day?" Unemployment Insurance Scheme: 4/10 "We already have it, if you want it. It’s a solution in search of a problem." Super Rugby in Queenstown: 4/10 "No crowds and a smack to the bottom line. Is that the summer they promised if we got jabbed?" NZ Golf Open and Hokitika Wildfoods Festival Cancelled: 3/10 "Same question. If this is the best response to Covid in the world, how come you can't watch the sport or eat the food?" Hamish Bond: 9/10 "A champions champion, a nice bloke, and an example of the dream that all is possible, if you're willing to work hard enough." Tom Brady: 9/10 "Same as Bond, except bigger."
